I just discovered the Proximity high scores list at the website of the games creator, Brian Cable. My assumption was that the maximum high score would be 2,400 since there are 120 game cells and the maximum points per cell is 20. 120 x 20 = 2,400.
So I posted a question on Brian Cable's discussion forum about Proximity last night and he's already replied:
I hesitate to give out the exact algorithm for my high score, as someone could immediately use tools to cheat and give themselves whatever the max score is supposed to be, but a score of 16k is definitely possible. The score is determined by the difference between the winner's and the loser's army count, multiplied with a multiplier based on A.I. level as well as another multiplier.
I've only been playing Beginner level to day, which makes sense given that I've only been playing for a week. Here's hoping I'll be able to break into the Top 100 scores list where #100 is a score of 7,900 by Arnaud recorded on 9.11.06.
